Where Fido's business is our business.

Curious to see how this works out. Clever idea. Any chance of turning dog poop into methane? Perhaps use it to fuel your truck.

Is beyond my level of science so I have no idea. But that would be pretty great.

So far all I'm doing right now is 4 yards because of some particular circumstances. It's 130 a week to get me through until I can open for good. Now granted, I made another $120 off of them in initial cleanup fees, those all took me about 20-30 mins a piece. Takes me about 7 minutes to clean a yard normally as of right now. Figure that number will drop as I get the hang of it.

I spent like $40 or something on my dust pan, plastic rake, and some scent blocker doggie bags and garbage bags.

So for not technically being in business, driving 12 miles total in 5 days and spending about 3 hours working, I'm at a net profit of $207. That's what, almost $70 an hour to clean up dog shit?

Now, next week, I'm not adding anyone new. So only $130. But I'll have 12 miles total, so 1 gallon of gas at $3 is my weekly expenditure. So $127 profit for maybe an hour of work...

As long as I have between 20-30 customers, I make enough to pay my bills and not worry whether I can pay electric etc this month. At 50-60 customers, I start thinking about hiring someone.

Right now I have 67 people wanting appointments for the first week of June for initial inspection.

My first week alone if all sign up, I'll clear probably around $1500-2000 in just initial setup fees and about another grand in weekly service fees.

Someone I know used to do this. Here's a couple tips...

People are inherently reactive and not proactive. They're all interested in cleaning poop when it's bad, but then they stop calling. You need to make a customer list and call them before things like the 4th, Labor Day. Offer some slight holiday discount. Stick to a small zone to start, don't drive all over the county. Everyone's coming to you now, but at some point you'll need to drum up interest yourself and make calls to get business.

How'd you go with your logo man @Man Called X?

Doodled a little flat design for you this morning:

That's awesome Simmy. I've been running with a modified version of Huber's logo for now. The ones I received from others didn't really work for me.

Pay Huber in pubers.

Cunt.

Huber will get payment eventually. But I'm not sending pubes.

Name isn't trademarked, no one in Ohio using the name as a business. I'm in the clear.
